:-) I did the same thing when I first changed our alerting, was swearing
at it for a while then realised, still reduced 20 conditions to 9 so all
worked out in the end.

Yes, that did it. For some reason didn't think of making the whole thing
a regex.

 
Thank you.

Subject: [hobbit] Problem with Regular Expression in Alert

 
Hi Everyone,

 
I am having an issue where Hobbit will not take multiple alert
parameters if one of them is a regular expression. I have my hobbit
built with MRTG integration. My example is that I want to have my catch
all rule exclude all msgs and interfaces (in the format int01-08,
int09-16, ...). 

 
This works: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=%^int.*

This doesn't work: COLOR=red EXSERVICE=msgs,%^int.*

 
Does anyone have any hints, how to get this working? Maybe even a
logical approach to get it working and not necessary a technical
approach? 

 
Thanks.
